João is not into sweets (how lucky is he?) but merengue is his favorite - he loves it and always asks for seconds, sometimes even thirds. :D

I know that for my foreign readers "merengue" would be something else - only one of the ingredients of this dessert, actually. I also believe that "Eton mess" is similar, if not equal, to this dessert.

There's not an actual recipe here, you just need place the following ingredients in layers:

Nora, you're right. Very quick to put together, especially if you use store-bought meringues (I did).I tried making a pavlova months ago but my oven wasn't OK so it was a huge failure. I should try it again!

Lydia, tks!! I'd love to hear your/his opinion about it. :)

Wendy, I have never had baked alaska but I've seen it many times - now YOU got me craving it. ;-)Too bad it's only 3:30pm and I still have to work for 2 more hours. :)

Deb, I wish that too, sweetie - it would be so much easier losing the extra pounds! :D

Susan, the cream is irresistible. ;)

Anh, you've sait it all! :)

Tanna, I think raspberries would be wonderful because of their tart flavor!You are more than welcome, help yourself. ;)

Carol, you are so sweet! I love the new ideas for the name! "Cloud" is one of my favorites words in the whole dictionary. "Umbrella" is another one. ;)

Lynn, you can do whatever you like, my dear! :)

Cris, thank you!

Eva, next time I'll tell João not to eat the whole thing by himself, ok? :)

Veron, strawberries are wonderful!

Lu, I used store-bought meringues, I needed to make things fast! :)

Meeta, you definitely should! I know you'll make wonderful photos of it!
